DEFENCE DECONSTRUCTED PODCAST

September 6, 2024

On this episode of Defence Deconstructed, David Perry is joined by our Fellow and 2023 Women in Defence and Security Fellowship recipient Kate Todd, to discuss the integration of unmanned maritime vehicles in navies, and the implications for the Royal Canadian Navy.

Then, you’ll hear Department of National Defence’s Assistant Deputy Minister (Policy) Peter Hammerschmidt outline how the defence policy update, Our North, Strong and Free, supports efforts to support the connectivity aspects of NORAD Modernization.

That conversation was a panel from Triple Helix’s first annual conference, which took place on May 1, 2024. This event was made possible thanks to the support of the Department of National Defence’s MINDS program, CGAI’s strategic sponsors Lockheed Martin Canada, General Dynamics, Hanwha Ocean and Defence, and Cenovus, as well as the American Chamber of Commerce in Canada, reception sponsor L3Harris Technologies, and coffee break sponsor Bell.

Guests:
